LEGACY SHOW @ UVU

We went to Lindsay's show this weekend. She is part of a group named, "Legacy" at UVU. The show was GREAT and Lindsay did an AMAZING job!! :) Lindsay was in a Hawaiian number, Fiji, Tonga and Tahiti!! Good job sis! We are so proud of you, and we love you SO MUCH!!

We were lucky enough to have the Fiefia's join us, so OF COURSE Mele had to get in on the picture taking action! This girl can POSE!! She is a natural-born model!! She wanted to wear my glasses, so I had to snap some shots of her in them! She is such a cutie!!

And then it was Mele's turn to take pictures.. She actually did a really good job for only being 3 years old!!..... The 1st is Mele taking a picture of herself.. haha..

And then she took a few of Celeste and I... Got it kinda right the second time! hehe...

TAGGED!!

The rules are: List 6 quirks about yourself and then tag six people. Leave them a message on their blog letting them know they have been tagged.

1. When I eat Frosted Mini Wheats I place each one in my bowl individually so that I can make sure the "FROSTED" (a healthy way of saying SUGAR) part is on top and I only eat a row of them at a time.. I don't stack them, because I like to make sure the sugar "frosted" part doesn't get washed away by the milk..

2. There are certain words that I will fingerspell in sign language when I hear them.. I can't tell you which ones at the moment, because I can't think of them, but ever since I took ASL (American Sign Language), there are certain words that I can't help but fingerspell when people say those words.

3. I'm sure a lot of you can relate with this one, but I MUST do the same shower routine each time I shower! If, for some reason my routine gets out of order, or I can't remember if I washed a certain part, I have to start all over from the beginning.. It can sometimes make my showers longer than planned!

4. I also can't sit still!! (Doesn't necessarily mean I have to be doing something productive).. I just can't really sit still long enough to relax, unless I'm sleeping!!

5. I never burp!! Sounds weird, I know, but whenever anyone burps loud(I won't mention names, LaCh****).. I think its way gross because I have never have the NEED to burp! EVER! haha...

6. I eat SO MUCH CANDY!! My daily intake of food probably consists of 95% sugar.. no joke! I can eat tons of candy and NEVER get sick! **knock on wood** I could eat candy for every meal, which is bad, because that's usually what I do at work.

I tag: Lachelle, Heidi, Jami, Tasha, Traci & Kim.

THEN AND NOW!!

I saw an interesting post on my friend Andrea's blog. She had taken pics from a year ago this same time and then again this year and posted them, to see the difference in her kids.. I decided to look at pics and videos from this same time last year (September) and this is what I found....


THEN...

NOW...

VIDEOS... The interesting thing I found about the videos is that Cy has ALWAYS loved MUSIC!! He came out of the womb dancing! haha.. I found 2 videos (1 I had posted recently) that are about a year apart, yet VERY SIMILAR!! haha.. My dad is playing the Uke and singing to Cy in them both and Cy is dancing and loving every minute of it!! This old one that I found was SO CUTE! I couldn't resist posting it!!

THEN

NOW.. See Video from July post "CY AND PAPA"

Bottom line is.. Our babies don't stay babies long enough!! We need to cherish EVERY MOMENT with them!!

GRAMMA's are the BEST!!

Cy LOVES his Gramma Connie! They are like 2 peas in a pod! This kid follows her around the house all day.. Up until the other day, he was calling her "mommy"!! haha.. We are so grateful to Connie and for her example she has been of an amazing mother / mother-in-law and grandmother!! She takes the time to play with Cy whenever she is available.. A few things Cy likes to do with Gramma are: Feed the "bak bak" (chickens), water the lawn and take care of his BIG "pupki" (PUMPKIN) Connie is helping him grow, walk outside to get a "papsceble" (popsicle), Read a "Boot" (Book), Sing songs, eat crackers & cookies (2 of the basic food groups - grain and... dairy, there is dairy in chocolate chips, right?), Swim in his baby pool in the backyard that gramma got for him, watch Noggin & Sprout (while either sitting on her lap or leaning against her legs, she has to be in his sight), go on walks, and many other things she does with him throughout the day that helps make him the AMAZING child that he is today! Thanks Gramma Connie! We LOVE You!!

WHERE DO YOU BELONG?

I will take it! :) I LOVED The 80's! haha..

You Belong in 1985

Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day.

What Year Do You Belong In?

BOYZ II MEN - ABC - BBD - MM HMM

WOW.. I went to one of the BEST concerts in my life last night!! (2nd best next to Janet) Yes, I AM an R&B Junkie and Yes, I DID go to the BOYZ II MEN concert last night at the Scera Shell!! FUN FUN FUN!! WOW, I defenitely went down memory lane with those songs.. talk about Flashback Central!! They played all the classics, as well as some MOTOWN Classics!! It was AMAZING!! They were minus 1, but still AMAZING and still sounded the same!!

This was officially Cy's 1st concert and he was a TROOPER!! He started out singing and dancing when the "pre-show" was on.. and then.. as you can see.. he started fading. haha.. and during the concert he fell asleep on my dad's shoulder, so my dad and Cy decided to take a nap mid-concert! haha..

YES, we made it a family affair.. haha.. it was SO MUCH FUN!! All the girls were there in our family (minus Tasha :( .. We missed you Tash!!).. Blake, Collin, Cy, Shane and my mom & dad!!





When they sang "Mama" - they had everyone call their moms and have her listen to the song and dedicate it to them.. well, my mom was THERE, so that was easy, we all just turned around and sang the "Mama" song to our mom!! We love you mom!!

"THE HILLS" IS BACK!!

I NEVER thought I would get stuck on a show like this! haha.. I wasn't much of a "Laguna Beach" fan, so I'm not following Lauren for any reason besides the fact that it's PURE DRAMA and I LOVE IT! haha... So, Collin got hooked LAST season (don't tell that I told on him for being a Hills fan) and then got ME HOOKED, so we are on our second season of being "The Hills" watchers!! Although, we HAVE watched every season since we got hooked, so that we could get caught up.. Tonight (MTV 11:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time) is the 2nd episode of Season 4. Here are my thoughts thus far.. Where do I start?? Lo is a HATER, My favorites are Audrina (and Justin Bobby, of course) and Brody (hasn't made a cameo this season YET)!! Spencer and Heidi are acting 99.9% of the time - there is NOTHING real in that relationship.. They are the ones that bug the MOST, but also the ones that keep the show alive.. they are like a really BAD ACCIDENT.. You KNOW you shouldn't be looking, but that you can't help NOT looking!! LC is cool.... I like her, she is the REASON "The Hills" exists!! However, she needs to put Lo in check.. Whitney.. why is Whitney on the show?.. Stephanie is on the show because she is Spencer's sister (and Lauren's new BFF.. for NOW), and I can see from previews that she is gonna be DRAMA from start to end!! I can't wait!! Please comment if you are also a HILLS watcher! I would LOVE to hear your 2 cents!
